Joint Checking Account- Yay or Nay

thechoson

I was thinking of setting up a joint checking account for my gf and I, cause we live together, pay the same bills, always go out and eat together, blah blah blah. Our expenses are merged, so I thought it would be easier to set something like this up.

The only thing that might be a concern is tax time, cause we file separate returns, but obviously checking accounts don't draw interest so no income to report, so that should be fine as well..

Pros and cons to this?

pros u steal her money, cons she steals ur money

i personally wouldnt do it because money f*cks up relationships...just wait til u have that prenupt all signed then u can combine whatever u want be it bank accounts or genitalia

Where I come from, I have my own money, my girl's got her own money...I spend my own money, she spends my money...Tho she's given me flights to Paris, weekends in Hawaii, trips to New York...I have never been in a position where I can say "shared expenses"I guess some of stems from my 'gotta feel like a Man' mentality

So your girl's Chinese too? Damn, I didnt know there were still Asian chicks out there that were still down with the Dutch thing

Good *&^% Bro... Keep up the good work... I love the fact there are still Asian guys out there willing to stand up for themselves and let their women know how its gonna be.
